Breakdown cover

YorksMG2013 · 26th November 2020, 11:06

Dear All

My AA membership is due for renewal in a few days and the cost each year is always going up to the point where I wince when considering it (always been happy with the service - when I needed it - I have to point out)

Am I right in thinking that both RAC and Green Flag only cover a vehicle (whereas the AA cover the driver)? The AA model suits me as I drive multiple vehicles so need that type of cover

Thanks

Andrew

Andrew I have personal cover with the RAC.

Do you ring them and ask for a better price or say you are going to move to one of the others if they dont?

I have to go through this game every year and they always manage to magically to find me a better price. I think last year it was 30% cheaper.

I guess the best way to find out is straight from the horses mouth. Enquire at the RAC and Green Flag. Who best to inform you.---

Check sites such as Topcashback.co.uk; others are available. The RAC had a flash sale last month, Roadside, Recovery and At Home for £86 before 50% cashback, which has been confirmed, so in effect its only costing £43.

Todays offering is a little less attractive, £115 minus £45 cashback for the same cover.

Had to call them out a couple of times, always been quick .
Covers you not a specific car!!
Free cover for your spouse as well, so if any car their travelling in is covered, so they'll get out of trouble.

Cheers

RAC covers me personally (lucky with my large fleet), but be careful - I know at one time it only came if you had been a member for a number of years, because they switched me without my asking, so just check.
